When you're starting your life over, you can't afford to make the same mistakes you made in the past.
It's 1998 and Alexandra had come to California to be closer to her daughter and start a new life completely different than the one she'd left behind. Finding herself smack in the middle of L.A.'s decadent music scene certainly wasn't part of the plan, but neither was falling for rock's heir apparent Dominic Wild. Will she make the mistake of falling for the wrong man again, or will Alexandra end up finding a kindred spirit whose love will erase the heartbreaks from both their pasts?
